WEBVTT 00:00:00.256 --> 00:00:02.176 Hi, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van 00:00:02.176 --> 00:00:05.376 Freedom. This is my SCOTTCHEN adjustable longboard 00:00:05.376 --> 00:00:08.107 sander. I used it extensively while repairing 00:00:08.107 --> 00:00:10.475 the van exterior and sanding body filler. 00:00:10.495 --> 00:00:12.543 Tightening or loosening the board let me 00:00:12.543 --> 00:00:14.613 work with a flat or contoured face. 00:00:14.633 --> 00:00:16.853 I found it reliable on larger areas. 00:00:17.023 --> 00:00:19.071 The matching product picture shows the flexible 00:00:19.071 --> 00:00:22.109 board, raised handles and adjustment hardware. 00:00:22.245 --> 00:00:24.315 The abrasive attaches along the working face 00:00:24.336 --> 00:00:26.811 with hook-and-loop backing. The board provides the 00:00:26.811 --> 00:00:29.115 support and shape. The abrasive is a 00:00:29.115 --> 00:00:31.760 separate consumable that does the material removal 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.480 as I move the tool by hand. 00:00:33.620 --> 00:00:35.989 My build photographs show the heater-opening area 00:00:36.052 --> 00:00:38.399 during preparation and after white paint had 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:39.658 been applied around it. 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:41.365 They illustrate the broader cutting, 00:00:41.428 --> 00:00:43.598 preparation and coating sequence. 00:00:43.761 --> 00:00:46.108 My owner review records the longboard's use 00:00:46.108 --> 00:00:47.794 on the exterior body filler. 00:00:47.900 --> 00:00:50.588 The workshop footage illustrates general measuring and 00:00:50.588 --> 00:00:53.340 holding work. The useful distinction is between 00:00:53.404 --> 00:00:55.484 the support and the abrasive. 00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.776 Adjusting the board changes the face that 00:00:57.776 --> 00:01:00.742 follows the work. Changing the abrasive changes 00:01:00.806 --> 00:01:03.170 the sanding surface attached to that face. 00:01:03.357 --> 00:01:05.021 Those choices belong to different parts of 00:01:05.021 --> 00:01:07.112 the setup, rather than making every sanding 00:01:07.112 --> 00:01:08.990 strip and block interchangeable. 00:01:09.203 --> 00:01:11.294 My experience with this sander was positive. 00:01:11.421 --> 00:01:13.384 I used it extensively on the exterior 00:01:13.384 --> 00:01:15.916 repair work. Tightening or loosening it gave 00:01:15.916 --> 00:01:17.452 me the flat or contoured face I 00:01:17.452 --> 00:01:19.116 wanted, and I found it reliable for 00:01:19.116 --> 00:01:21.804 the larger areas. That adjustable working shape 00:01:21.804 --> 00:01:23.425 was the reason this longer hand tool 00:01:23.425 --> 00:01:25.294 earned a place in my abrasive kit. 00:01:25.411 --> 00:01:27.758 The heater-opening photographs show another scale of 00:01:27.758 --> 00:01:29.252 preparation work in the build. 00:01:29.379 --> 00:01:31.022 Cutting left an area to prepare before 00:01:31.043 --> 00:01:33.646 priming and painting. The white-painted view shows 00:01:33.646 --> 00:01:35.387 a later stage around that opening. 00:01:35.590 --> 00:01:38.321 Those photographs give finishing context alongside the 00:01:38.321 --> 00:01:41.308 separate account of sanding exterior body filler. 00:01:41.393 --> 00:01:43.932 My page compares two researched alternatives. 00:01:44.124 --> 00:01:45.659 The three M rubber block is a 00:01:45.659 --> 00:01:47.674 shorter rectangular hand block. 00:01:47.809 --> 00:01:49.900 The Dura-Block standard block has a fixed 00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:52.204 rectangular working face and grip. 00:01:52.289 --> 00:01:54.679 Their matching pictures show the different formats. 00:01:54.764 --> 00:01:56.130 They are comparison options, 00:01:56.257 --> 00:01:58.626 rather than the adjustable longboard I used. 00:01:58.774 --> 00:02:01.013 Thanks for watching. I'm Steve Smith with 00:02:01.013 --> 00:02:03.829 Camper Van Freedom. My SCOTTCHEN longboard worked 00:02:03.829 --> 00:02:06.710 reliably for the larger exterior repair areas, 00:02:06.816 --> 00:02:09.498 with adjustment for flat and contoured faces. 00:02:09.619 --> 00:02:11.454 The full review, matching pictures, 00:02:11.539 --> 00:02:14.099 build context and current buying options are 00:02:14.099 --> 00:02:16.251 linked below. Until next time.
